Japan gets the version of Formula Front that we got.

We nearly freaked out when we saw yet another Armored Core game on the pages of a recent issue of Famitsu, until we realized that that the game in question wasn't a new title at all. From Software has announced Armored Core Formula Front International for the Japanese PSP, a re-release of the PSP launch title from last year.

As with most international-version releases, Formula Front International is being marketed as a beefed up, budget-price version of the original game. America got a much improved version of Formula Front, and now Japan is getting that, complete with an action mode of play that allows for full control over your mechs in addition to AI control. The game also includes 50 teams for use in the exhibition mode, compared to the three of the original. Those who aren't into Japanese characters will be pleased to learn that the game includes language options for English and Japanese.

From is also promising some exclusive new content for the Japanese version, so fans in America may want to look at importing the game (which should run on your PSP without trouble). Armored Core Formula Front International hits Japan on 11/2 carrying a price tag of 2940 yen.
